I imagined countless ways I might meet Xu Huaizhi again. I even thought we’d never cross paths again. But I never expected our reunion to be at a parent-teacher meeting.
"Shen Qingling, you’re something else. Your kid’s already in elementary school," Xu Huaizhi said, each word clear and deliberate.
"Thanks. Raising a kid really is exhausting. How have you been all these years, Teacher Xu...?"
Are you married? Do I still have a chance? I was ecstatic inside. Xu Huaizhi, this time, you’re not getting away from me!
